“I would also like to thank the authorities ofVietnam for allowing me to be as close as possible to this major event in thehistory of the country in particular and of all of Asia in general”, said MohamedAbdoun.
It is a great pity that it is not possible to travel to Vietnam to meet on thespot because of the pandemic, said Stefan Kühner from the newspaper of theGerman Communist Party named “Unsere Zeit”.
“The homepage https://en-daihoi13.dangcongsan.vn in five languages was a verygood source even before the Party Congress and I was happy to use it.Congratulations for this example of journalism openness,” he noted.
Amazed at the leaps that Vietnam has gained in past 35 years since Doi moi(Renewal) process, Stefan Kühner, 69, praised the leadership of the CommunistParty in Vietnam over the years.
“Doi moi has grown up at 35! I remember very well the difficult situation ofVietnam due to the war and the boycott of Vietnam by the US and othercountries. It is amazing what Vietnam has achieved under the leadership of theCommunist Party of Vietnam in the last 35 years to eradicate poverty to makepeople's lives better”, the German journalist said.
Sharing this view, Yimel Díaz Malmierca from Trabajadores, a Cubannewspaper, said Vietnam's prestigein the world has grown systematically in recent decades. From being a nationdevastated by a terrible war, it has gone on to lead various sectors of theregional and world economy.
“The sustained growth of the Vietnamese economy between 7 percent and 9 percentin the last 20 years says a lot about the country and how hard it has worked tobring well-being to its people,” said Yimel Díaz Malmierca.
She said the organisers of theevent provided the best conditions for online coverage.
“Online coverage of the Congress is an excellent opportunity. The selectedplatform works optimally,” she said.
